Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time. ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.

QUOTE (abalone @ Feb 8 2006, 08:58 AM) Indeedy! Firstly, look beyond the immediate eye-candy - HP *is* a bowl, we're looking across the top surface in the background and it clearly has a 'crater' shape (as in bowl, no more). Secondly, I agree that the form of the exposed surfaces is, as previously said, all about the tricks of aeolian erosion - you get some very strange shapes, and they don't need to mean much except the way the winds blow. Thirdly, the fine stratification has to mean persistent episodes of "something". Dykes don't do that, ashfall seems less likely to me now, water more so, but... ...mud pseudo-vulcanism? And finally: I know it can't be, but... ...lithographic slate? Anybody seen any Archeopteryx? Answers, on a postcard please, to Mr R Hoaxland...
